Kyle Korver helped the Hawks snap their seven-game losing skid on Wednesday with nine points, two 3-pointers, three rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes off the bench.

The veteran SG has taken his recent benching in stride, saying he was "fine" with coach Mike Budenholzer's decision to start Thabo Sefolosha. The move may have lit a fire under him, as he's averaging 12.0 points, 2.5 triples, 4.5 assists and 1.0 steals in his new role. If you've held onto him despite his slow start this year, there's no reason to quit on him now. Dec 7 - 10:59 PM

Kyle Korver said he's "fine" with coming off the bench in Atlanta.

"Fine," Korver said of the decision Tuesday to bring him off the bench moving forward. "We are in a tough stretch and we have to try anything to try to get this going again. I’ll do my best whatever the role is." Mike Budenholzer has made it clear that Korver's bench role will not change any time soon, and while he did have a solid outing on Tuesday with 15 points and two triples in 32 minutes, he's been woefully inconsistent this season. It'll be interested to see if he can keep it up Wednesday. Dec 7 - 9:45 AM

Kyle Korver took his demotion to the bench in stride, hitting 5-of-9 shots and three 3-pointers for 15 points, two rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes on Monday.

This was his second highest scoring game of the season and he looked much better than he has since very early in the year. Maybe the bench will treat him better, but if he wasn't getting it done while starting, it's going to be very hard to trust him coming off the bench. Dec 5 - 11:07 PM

Kyle Korver will come off the bench Monday vs. the Thunder.

Thabo Sefolosha is replacing the struggling Korver in the starting five, and head coach Mike Budenholzer indicated that this move is not a matchup based decision, but something he'll be rolling with moving forward. Korver hasn't even been worth owning over the past seven games, chipping in forgettable averages of 6.6 points and 1.3 triples on 38.1 percent shooting, and the demotion to the bench isn't going to do him any favors. He's a cut-candidate in standard leagues. Dec 5 - 5:58 PM

Hardaway banged his knee on Wednesday bit appears to have avoided even a minor injury. With Kent Bazemore (knee) sidelined, Hardaway will start at shooting guard for Atlanta. THJ has scored in double-figures in five of Atlanta's last six games, but brings little to the table besides points.

Tiago Splitter will miss at least six more weeks with a right calf strain.

He was nearing a return from his latest hamstring issue, so this is a new injury. Splitter also had hip surgery last season and just can't seem to stay healthy. He may not be in the rotation when he returns because Mike Muscala has been fantastic.
